Good Goslings 151 / LH151 comparison AceExplorer! I agree with your assertion that (in light of the LH151 shortage) trying out alternatives to LH151 is part of the fun of having a home bar - I would compare it to trying out new mai tai combos (even if you've got your favorite combo, you've got to try a new one!)

Let me tell you where I found Goslings 151 to be successful:

I have been comparing LH151 / Bacardi 151 / Plantation Overproof / Goslings 151 in the Simplified Zombie from Remixed. I add Pernod & angostura bitters, I'm using Appleton 12 as dark jamaican. I also mix it like a 1934 Zombie instead of shaking it (ie blend approx half the ice & top up with crushed ice).

Goslings 151 makes a better drink than all the others IMO (including LH151).
